A Sharp, Vibrant Critique of A Version of Feminism
4
Interesting and Infuriating Read
While some elements of the text seem a bit repetitive and it unfairly generalizes contemporary feminism without naming names, Crispin effectively eviscerates the notion that feminism can be a lifestyle or a series of consumer actions. Her most effective chapter, The Fights We Choose, offers an important call to end the crusades to destroy individuals for retrograde language and instead focus on broader social change. I can’t imagine anyone agreeing with all of this polarizing manifesto, but it’s an important, interesting read.
